Hello and welcome,

From owning two successful businesses in Asia, hitchhiking Africa at 17, sailing around Malaysia and motorbiking through the Rift Valley, I’ve always had a pioneering spirit and love for adventure and exploring the world.

Art, literature and culture were always very important to me. I was fascinated with the human condition, who we are, and what is our place in the world. 

My interest in the bigger questions such as Who am I? What is the meaning of my life. Why am I here? goes way back, and I loved poetry, literature and music and it's ability to touch something inside us.

I studied philosophy, art criticism and critical theory in the form of two Masters of Art; one with Sotheby’s Institute, the second in Arts Criticism from the City University. My academic focus and thesis was on the articulation of trauma in 20th-century poetry and art. 

When I came across Life Coaching and NLP in 2006, I immediately recognised their potential for healing, personal empowerment, transformation and creating an authentic life.

I had done therapy before, having suffered depression, but the approach never made me feel any better. I felt more powerless after these sessions than I had before. 

With Life Coaching and NLP I I immediately identified with the philosophy behind it. I saw that the thinking  behind these modalities were totally different. You're not a victim of the past. No matter what happened you are so much more. You have the capacity within you to make the changes you desire, to heal and to be happy and fulfilled in the here and now.

Without the years of therapy.

Since then I've qualified in a number of healing methods. I've studied EMDR, Reiki, IFS, Hypnosis and a whole host of methods. 

I discovered that within all of us there is a voice, and an authentic flame - something beautiful that needs to be lived. Today my personal practice is in two parts; compassionately resolving past trauma through EMDR, and building an authentic life through Life Coaching and NLP.

I am passionate about helping people heal their core wounds and build an authentic life.
